How To Paint Kitchen Cabinets Professionally Without Sanding | DIY Kitchen Makeover (Part 1)

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I this tutorial style video helps any of you who may be wanting to learn How To Paint Kitchen Cabinets!

[@stickitpickit5462]

Where’s the video of the counter tops?

[@Resilienceadvocate]

Wondering if the paint lasts and how long? No peeling, cracking after a year?

[@mariahaamir171]

Can we use this paint on old oak cabinets?

[@Lisa-zh6mx]

I love DIYs as long as someone else does the work. 😂

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

🤣

[@kristalspears8998]

This is such a good help. When I bought my home I was in love with grey cabinets. Two years later, I'm thinking blue or black so this is super helpful to let me see that we can do this ourselves. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the other videos.

[@Resilienceadvocate]

Thank you for the empowering technique! Not everyone has 30k or more to redo cabinets! We have 30 cabinets and dozens of drawers and are intending to DIY paint on a strict budget, hence my questions on durability of the painted surface? Especially for high use areas..?. You inspired me to think it may be possible to achieve this project. Thank you 😊

These were painted over a year ago & there has been no chipping or discoloration so far 🤗

Hi Megan 👋. The cabinets look beautiful. I thought the cabinets looked fine before you painted them. Then you showed the before and after and oh my! What a huge difference. I do love white cabinets. They just open up the space so much. Can't wait to see how you did the countertops. Way to go, Megan and Derek! Great team work. Have a great weekend ❤️

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

The kitchen was definitely nice before but it felt like a black hole because it was so dark. That’s why we kept the cabinets & just made them brighter instead of replacing them 🤗

[@tkine97]

Nice job. I always do the back first painting to get into the flow of it on the least visible side for practice. Then I'm in the rhythm when doing the front. I cant believe you didn't cover areas or tape off for painting. I'd never be able to be that neat.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I’ve never needed to 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not a super messy painter to begin with & I use mostly water based products so it’s really easy to clean up any drips & spills that do happen.

[@MrBomer213]

I actually like the black better but white looks awesome too, I will paint mine black today (: Thanks

My suggestion if you are scared is paint a Goodwill bookshelf with Beyond Paint to get the hang of it. I then did both bathroom cabinets and I'm in the middle of doing my kitchen. You can do it. I just painted the walls in my bathroom and kitchen and it was harder than doing the cabinets. Good luck!!

Love you step by step video. Question how have the cabinets held up with not sanding them down? My hubby has been a painter/finisher for 15yrs & own his own painting company. And he always sands his clients cabinets down before rolling or spraying. Do they hold up the same if you do not sand? I want to paint our cabinets and if I do not need to sand them it would be amazing.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

They’ve held up great. This paint is formulated to minimize prep work

[@BEYONDPAINT]

There is never any sanding needed when using Beyond Paint if you’re looking for extra durability for your cabinets we would recommend using 1 to 2 thin coats of our multipurpose sealer. 😃

It’s definitely less steps. I’m just hoping it ends up being as durable as regular cabinet enamel.

Hi! My husband and I built shaker style cabinets from scratch. They are made out of 1/4" plywood. Do you think I could use this Beyond Paint directly on the plywood without priming? I know it says "all in one" but all the videos I've watched have painted over cabinets that were already finished so I'm a bit nervous to paint with priming. Any insight would be helpful, thank you for posting this video!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I would say if you were going for a deeper color then don’t worry about primer, but if you’re going for a white/light, you may want to use a primer to prevent any yellowing from the raw wood.

[@BEYONDPAINT]

Hi there! Beyond Paint performs very well on plywood. Because our paint has a primer, bonder, and sealer in it’s formula you will not need to prime or sand. If you’re looking for extra durability after painting we recommend 1 to 2 thin coats of our multipurpose sealer. 😊

Hi Megan, Thanks for sharing this, I’ve been watching a lot of “how to paint cabinets” because I want to update our bathroom a little bit and youtube recommended this video to me.. 😬 What’s the finish of this paint? It looks matte on the video and the description of the product link says matte/flat too? Is it similar to chalk paint finish? 🤷🏻‍♀️ And how do you clean it? Will it not fade using certain cleaner? I’m not sure if that’s too early to ask since you just paint yours but If you already did that.. I would love to know your opinion.. 😬😅

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It is matte but doesn’t feel like chalk paint. I’m sure their website has information for what specific types of cleaners they recommend 😊 you can also add a top coat if you want a different finish or prefer a different cleaner than what is recommended 🤗

[@Lulusvideos1]

The black cabinets were nice but they made the kitchen look too dark. They look better in a kitchen that has a lot of windows, otherwise you have a very dark kitchen, the white makes it look so much brighter.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Yes! Just make sure you degrease & clean the surface really well!

Beyond Paint works great with varnished redwood. Just be sure to clean with simple green or Zep degreaser to remove all dirt and grime to ensure the best adhesion. Hope this helps!

It’s silky but not shiny, definitely smoother than chalk paint. The best way to describe it is a professional finish.
